Thanks for the clarification, my ideia was to run the cameras on an isolated VLAN so, no issues with calling home. I just wanted to make sure they can be operated fully locally.
Thanks for the answer.
I block internet access to all Amcrest cameras directly but can still access their local IP.
Yes, and what kind of management do they provide on their WebUI? Can the camera be 100% operated using the WebUI without blue iris or any other software?
Are you using an Amcrest IP4M-1041B, can you have a look at this? https://lemmy.world/post/16883143. Thank you.

51·5 days agoWhat if you just get your browser using their own repositories or flatpak? 🌈
How do I know all of this? Well I happen to work with WordPress professionally as the lead developer for an agency where I manage literally hundreds of WordPress sites and host all of them myself on servers I manage for them (not shared hosting reselling).
I used to have the same role and before that I managed a shared hosting provider. At that job the majority of websites hosted there were WordPress and customers would pay us to develop or fix stuff sometimes.
The vast majority of those “extensions” (plugins) are horribly made and are security nightmares,
Yes, this is true and a problem, but at the same time the WordPress ecosystem, as you know, gets shit done.
I also had some experiences with PrestaShop/Magento and they are even worse than WordPress. You still have the performance issues, the 3rd party poorly developed themes and plugins and a convoluted API.
WooCommerce powers 38% of the online stores out there…
WordPress’s data structure is not properly suited for an e-commerce site
To be fair WordPress’ data structure is not properly suited for anything, not even posts and pages, let alone block structures and whatever but the truth is that it works and delivers results. Same goes for WooCommerce, if you don’t want to be hostage of Shopify and your objective actually selling shit instead of spending all your time developing store software then WooCommerce is the way to go.
WooCommerce also has an extensive extension list, integrations with all the payment providers out there and it’s easy to get help / support be it free or paid.
and it’s a resource hog.
Did you ever they Magento or PrestaShop? Doesn’t seem like you did as those are store-first solutions and they’re all slower and more of a resource hog than WP can ever be.
12·7 days agosince I already have a Mac for work I was wondering how suitable a Mac Mini M1/M2 would be for a homelab?
Suitable yes, if you want to do it… maybe or maybe not. Here’s a few pointers:
- Debian can be installed on those machines, however I’m not sure how power management works properly:
- Installation isn’t as straightforward and as easy as in another systems because Apple decided to keep pushing the usual ARM bullshit of not including a proper UEFI with the system;
- Some stuff will be broker, but you most likely don’t need it for self-hosting;
- If you keep macOS around you may have good luck with virtualizing Debian using UTM or VMware. Debian’s arm64 images will run at optimal performance on that hardware.
If you’re about to spend money I would grab an HP Mini unit with a “T” CPU, those will downclock really hard and you can get a i5-10500T (on ebay) for around 250€… and everything will work fine out of the box. An i7-8500T model also sells for 150€ or something like that.
Have a look at those CPU benchmarks (last one is probably yours):
If you’re looking for power efficiency the newer CPUs are always better. Those mini units will downclock and idle at around 9-12W depending on hardware configuration but Apple should be able to do better - at least assuming you’ve power management working.
5·8 days agoGluetun, is overkill if you already have a working setup. Your system is able to handle this in a much simple way with built in tools.
You can use
systemdto restrict some daemon to your your VPN IP. For instance here’s an example of doing that with transmission: override of the default unit by using the following command:systemctl edit transmission-daemon.serviceThen type what you need to override:
[Service] IPAddressDeny=any IPAddressAllow=10.0.0.1 # --> your VPN IP hereAnother option, might be to restrict it to a single network interface:
[Service] RestrictNetworkInterfaces=wg0 # --> your VPN interfaceSave the file and run
systemctl daemon-reloadfollowed bysystemctl restart transmission-daemon.serviceand it should be applied.This is a simple and effective solution that doesn’t require more stuff.
Have you ever used ReactOS? And tried to run something on it? I did, and it wasn’t a pleasant experience
Yes, I did, multiple times and yes, it isn’t pleasant but Wine isn’t either.
I doubt that these things will work on ReactOS but won’t on Wine.
The thing is that there’s already a bunch of stuff that works fine in ReactOS but is still broken in Wine, particularly old Win32 APIs around since Windows 95 that should’ve been fixed by now.
Wordpress + Woocomerce.
Well I see your problem, but you’re going to have a bad time without a screen. Maybe you can get something second hand / cheap or even ask a friend to borrow one for a few days?
Yeah at those price points it isn’t worth it at all to attempt a headless install.

It is possible but I wouldn’t do it. Too much effort for too little result.
Just plug your main monitor / keyboard into the server, run the setup and don’t install a DE. Afterwards login, enable SSH, unplug the monitor and do whatever you need over SSH.
Let’s face it, you’ll have to do this procedure once every xyz years, there’s no point in complicating this stuff. Also depending on your motherboard you may or may not be able to boot into the installer without a screen / keyboard attached. Another option is to install the OS in another computer and the move the hard drive to the target server - this is all fine until you run into UEFI security or another detail and it doesn’t boot your OS.
Actually you seem to have reinvented Syncthing’s versioning feature… or this.
Still great work.
Yeah, but aren’t others as well? My ideia was to run them on an isolated VLAN without Internet access. What brand would you recommend instead.
